Is this bivy waterproof? The Black Diamond Lightsabre got some bad reviews with that, so I was wondering if this was any better?

Would you prefer one over the other? I do most of my trips in rocky terrain, which makes it hard to stake down, and get a healthy amount of rain.

It is seam sealed and totally waterproof> I have the Lightsabre as well, and I don't think that it is intended more to deal with 4 season tent condensation more than an outside bivy.
